Studentenwerk Dresden

Alte Mensa in Dresden

Being one of the first student residences in Germany, the Alte Mensa on Mommsenstraße was opened on November 15, 1925. Following several attachments to the building during the 30s, the construction was extended to its present size in the late 50s. From this point on, the rectorate of the TU Dresden could be found within the building complex. The Alte Mensa underwent extensive reconstruction from February 14, 2004 until late December 2006. During this period, the tent-canteens ESSE and KommPott, as well as the container-cafeteria Ent-Spannung took care of the student's and university staff's catering needs. The Alte Mensa was officially reopened on January 15, 2007. Since then it has regained its status of being a central location of student life, as well as representing the main culinary artery in the heart of the campus.
